Gulotta Condemns LIRR Fare Hike
Hempstead Presiding Supervisor Thomas S.
Gulotta today attacked officials of the Metro­politan
Transportation Authority who are con­sidering
fare hikes of up to 50 per cent for com­muters
on the Long Island Railroad. The MTA is
planning to impose an increase on or about July
first.
"Our town's commuters cannot afford to pay
more for the trip to and from work," Presiding
Supervisor Gulotta said. "Talk of a fare hike is
particularly outrageous in light of deteriorating
conditions on the LIRR."
The aver age Hempstead resident who uses the
railroad to commute to New York City pays $70
for a monthly ticket. A 50 per cent fare hike
would bring the cost to $105. Commuters who use
buses operated by the Metropolitan Suburban
Bus Auhority would also be affected by a fare
increase as would users of the bus and subway
system in New York City.
"A fare hike on the area's commuter lines
would be highway robbery in the most literal
sense," Mr. Gulotta continued. "The MTA is
bleeding area commuters of their hard earned
income without making any effort whatsoever to
improve service."
The Presiding Supervisor also blasted rec­ommendation
by Governor Carey's transit
advisory committee to create a Metropolitan
Transportation Financial Control Board.
The panel, which would oversee MTA spending,
would include the governor, the mayor of New
York City, appointees of the Assembly speaker
and Senate majority leader and experts in labor,
public finance and transportation who would be
appointed by the governor. Mr. Gulotta charged
that the proposed board, without any Nassau or
Suffolk member, could not adequately represent
the thousands of people who use the Long Island
Railroad or the local bus system.
Presiding Supervisor Gulotta urged area com­muters
to turn out for public hearings into
LIRR operations and the proposed fare increase.
One such session was held Wednesday, June
10th at the office of the Nassau County Planning
Commission, 222 Willis Avenue, Mineola.
Town Board Approves Commemoration Plans
Oyster Bay Town Councilman Howard T.
Hogan, Jr.^ announced Town Board approval for
plans by the Bicentennial Commission to observe
ah old-fashioned July 4th celebration to be held
at Townsehd Park, Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay,
beginning at 11 AM;
"Massed color guards from:'* various
community organizations will take part in the
ceremonies," Hogan stated. "The commemora­tive
ceremonies will recall the French-American
attack on loyalist-held Fort Franklin in Lloyds
Neck in 1781 and the successful American vic­tory
at the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia, also in
1781."
During the celebration, a copper time-capsule,
donated by the Theodore Roosevelt Association
is planned to be sealed in the reconstructed 1909
bandstand in Townsend Park, Hogan added.
Representatives of the Armed Forces, Scout
and Youth groups as well as those from Fire De­partments
and civic and historical associations
